Chapter 6 The first guest is not a person
In Ningcheng in the middle of the night, the waves crashed on the shore, blowing a refreshing sea breeze.
In the downtown area, the lights are bright and neon.
Although it was late at night, people came and went, and there was a bizarre human scene everywhere, each with its own joys and sorrows.
On a corner of a street where few people noticed, a bar quietly opened, with a sign hanging from it.
"Chat at the bar!"
From the outside, in addition to being mediocre or ordinary, there is another strange scene inside.
……
“First Blood! Double Kill! Triple kill! …… Penta Kill! There was a suppressed roar on the phone screen.
A red fox with a red body as red as fire pressed his mobile phone with two paws, operating frantically, and his teeth itched with anger.
A nine-tailed vixen on the screen has died miserably on the ground, and the picture is gray.
0/11/0, black and white game, miserable......
"Damn modern human beings, they really don't know the height of the sky!"
"How powerful the nine-tailed fox Daji was in ancient times, the power that once subverted a dynasty, and the skills in the game were so weak!"
"Shame! What a shame! ”
"The nine-tailed fox was chased and killed so badly by a monkey! Broken game, I'll never play again! ”
"That's right! And this game designer of Daji actually insulted my fox clan? …… Phew! Phew! Phew! ……”
……
Ying Ning was so angry that she gritted her teeth, her already red pupils were as red as jade, she threw her phone to the side, and recorded it angrily with a small notebook.
"Find Daji's designer and kill !!"
Pu Ye saw the words on it sharply, and silently mourned for Daji designer for three seconds.
Ding Ding Ding!
After the resurrection, Ahri was frantically pinged by his teammates because he didn't move for a long time.
"Summoner, Daji has been resurrected, please go to the battlefield quickly!"
Ying Ning had just put away the small notebook, and when she heard the voice, her eyes gradually slanted little by little, and the next moment she suddenly pounced and picked up her mobile phone, "I'm not here to play games." Only this time, I must take revenge and kill that monkey! Well, that's it! ”
It smells so good!
……
"Caichen, you go quickly! Otherwise, if grandma finds out, she will definitely eat you! ”
"No, Xiaoqian! Let's go, let's go together! I will not abandon you and leave alone. If you want to walk together, you have to die together......"
……
The TV was turned on, and the voice of an infatuated man and a woman came from inside, Ning Caichen, played by his brother, and Nie Xiaoqian, who was Zuxian, were demonstrating a classic scene of love and hate.
A ghostly shadow turned her back to Pu Ye, quietly facing the TV, silent for a long time.
Pu Ye exhaled.
Excuse me, what is the experience of the person watching his own movie?
It's so hard......
……
"It's really deserted!" The hour hand slid little by little, and Pu Ye lay on the bar, bored thinking.
After returning from my hometown, half a month has passed before I know it.
The ancestors practiced the tea ceremony, and collected the thoughts of sentient beings by opening a teahouse.
But now that it's modern society, Pu Ye started his practice with bartending, and all he had to do was naturally ......
It's open!
Negotiate the rent, simple decoration, and apply for a business license......
Even if everything was simple, it took more than half a month to get all kinds of miscellaneous things down.
Today is the first opening.
It's really deserted!
Looking at the foxes and ghosts who were caught in movies and games, Pu Ye sighed softly, deeply powerless.
Since returning to the mainstream human world, they are not normal, one has fallen into the pit of pesticides, but they only like to play one character.
That's where she comes from......
Nine-Tailed Fox Daji!
In half a month, her Daji has been used more than 500 times, but she has died more than 5,000 times......
If it weren't for Ying Ning's own magic to repair the mobile phone, it is estimated that the broken mobile phone would have been more than 50,000 times.
It's really irritable......
Although Xiaoqian never spoke, she was obsessed with a movie, or her autobiography "A Chinese Ghost Story", and since then she has entered an infinite loop mode.
I'm so hard!
……
"Ying Ning, the price of your wine is too outrageous! A glass of mirror wine in 1998, which is also more than ten times more expensive than a regular cocktail! Ordinary people can't afford to drink it! That's not how wine is sold! Pu Ye looked at the wine list with only one wine taste, and couldn't hold back a complaining heart.
"It's a spirit wine! If it is sold cheaply, how can it test people's sincerity? And how do you collect thoughts? Ying Ning held the mobile phone in both paws, operating frantically, and did not raise her head.
"The price can test people's sincerity, who said?" A black line appeared on Pu Ye's forehead, and the fox's worldview was simply distorted into a Möbius ring.
"In the red world, desires are like a bitter sea, and people swim in the sea. I'm afraid that people's hearts are the most complicated things in the world, and even Da Luo Jinxian is difficult to see through. In this world where truth and falsehood are inseparable, only Chiguoguo's money will make most people show their sincerity. If you don't want to pay for this wine, how can such a person deserve to drink mirror wine? ......" Ying Ning said.
On the side, Xiaoqian's attention also moved away from the movie and nodded in agreement.
Hey?
Pu Ye was stunned.
He thought that Ying Ning was going to instill in him again a wild fox Zen that he didn't know how twisted, but he didn't expect her to be able to say such philosophical words.
In this way, it is not like the words spoken by a quirky fox demon, but more like a life mentor who has mastered human feelings!
Pu Ye looked at Ying Ning shaking her head with a small notebook in her hand, and her face was strange for a while.
You make so much sense that I'm speechless, and it's even better if you don't read it with a little book.
Pu Ye secretly glanced twice, and saw that the words "Pu Liuxian" were written on the back of the small book.
Really......
"So why ask for three glasses of wine? Since it's a bar, why limit guests to a maximum of three drinks, which looks like an open door! Pu Ye pointed to the one deliberately marked with a red pen on the wine list and asked puzzledly.
"What's not to understand about this? After drinking three glasses of spirit wine, if you haven't been able to pick up valuable thoughts from it, such a guest is worthless! No matter how rich you are, drinking spiritual wine is a waste......" Ying Ning turned a few more pages in the small notebook, full of impatience.
My ancestors couldn't have been so mean......
The ancestors are great, forget it, forget it!
A cup of 1998 is a cup of 1998.
I'll honestly wait.
Pu Ye was so tired for a while, he sat honestly in front of the bar, staring straight at the door, like an old hunter, waiting for the first hunt, no, the guest came to the door.
I don't know what kind of story the other party brings?
What kind of thoughts did he have in his heart?
I have wine, do you have a story?
Thinking about it, Pu Ye suddenly felt a little expectant.
……
And in the perspective that no one can see, the pre-mixed spirit wine invisibly emits bursts of breath, through the closed wine bottle, through the wall, and through the air...... Little by little, wisps escaped, spreading to several corners of the city as if there was a target, as if there was a target and kept looking for it.
Xiao Qian's shadow shook slightly, and Ying Ning narrowed her eyes, remembering what the man had said.
"Drinking tea seems to be people choosing tea, but in fact, isn't it tea that is also choosing people?"
Liuxian, you're right!
Probably......
The same goes for wine!
Where is the wine, but where is the story?
……
In the noisy city, people come and go, and there are many human scenes that are constantly staged in this hustle and bustle.
"Where's the smell of wine? It smells so good! ”
"Where did you smell the wine on the street, you smell it wrong!"
"That's right, maybe I've been sleeping at night lately and often dreaming of a woman I've never seen before, with a nervous breakdown, and I have delusions!"
……
"Scent? It smells like wine! No, you can't drink lately. I must solve this bizarre case as soon as possible, and I must not let the murderer go unpunished! It's obviously a 20-story apartment, how did the murderer escape through the window? Could he be able to fly? ”
……
"The taste of wine? Tsk, it's so fragrant! Hey? How long have I been in the lab and am I hallucinating? No, we can't stop it yet! I have to decipher these ancient words as soon as possible, and I am really looking forward to what kind of secrets are recorded in them! ”
……
The aroma of wine is faint and not dispersed, and from time to time people in all corners of the city smell an inexplicable fragrance, raise their heads blankly, and then think it is an illusion, and quickly lower their heads, busy with the strange events in front of them.
The heart and mind may not be bound to each one.
But this world is big enough, and no matter how small the probability is, it will still happen after all, so there will be repercussions.
……
"I'm a little bird
I want to fly, I want to fly, but I can't fly high
I searched, and searched for a warm embrace
That's not too much to ask
……”
In the aisles of the subway, the crowd rushes by, and after a busy day, everyone has a tired face on their faces, and few people stop.
In the corner, a skinny girl carries an old guitar on her back, playing and singing.
The guitar was so big and heavy that it made the girl's back bow slightly.
But she always struggled to straighten her waist and sing hard, her voice was not high-pitched but clear enough, through the noise, like a bird flying in the air, whirling in the ears of people, crisp and clear, attracting attention from time to time, but no one stopped for it.
Still can't do it!
My singing voice is so hard in this world......
Looking at some of the paper tickets and coins spilled from the guitar case, the girl finished singing a song and gasped softly, her eyes darkened, but then immediately burst out with a resolute light.
But no matter what, I have to ......
"Huh? What does it taste like? ”
Suddenly, her nose sniffed lightly, and she only felt that among the many human scents, a faint smell of wine passed through the crowd and floated over, faint but not dispersed, so clear.
"This wine is fragrant......" The girl sniffed, and felt that this fragrance seemed to penetrate directly into her heart, and her long-dormant heart swayed, and countless suppressed thoughts surfaced and aroused longing.
It's so fragrant, I want to drink it!
Once the heart is moved, it is difficult to calm down.
The urge is so sudden, violent, and inexplicable that it's hard to refuse.
She gritted her teeth, cleaned up, broke through the crowd, and followed the smell of wine.
I don't know how long I walked, but soon a remote alley appeared in front of me, and a hidden bar with lights in sight was in sight.
……
Before you know it, the clock is pointing to nine o'clock in the evening.
In the modern city that never sleeps, the number of young people wandering the streets at night is not only fewer, but more and more.
"Huh? Chat at the bar? When did a bar appear here! A curious voice.
A fashionable young man wearing a vest and slim pants walked in with a curious expression.
This alley is usually full of fast food restaurants, barber shops, and when a bar appeared, the owner's brain is really strange enough.
I don't know how his wine is?
Are there any new drinks?
Anyone who dares to open a bar must have two brushes, and will the bartenders inside develop any new drinks?
The young man licked his lips unconsciously, and came in to take a look with the mentality of trying it out.
"Mirror wine? What a quirky name! Strange bar, strange liquor......"
The young man was muttering, and the next moment he saw the amount marked at the back of the wine list, his eyes widened as big as a cow.
"Boss, you don't have a decimal point for this price. A cocktail in 1998? Is there gold leaf added to it? It's just too much! ”
"My bartending is different, it's the price, try one?" In the face of questioning, Pu Ye was not annoyed, and said enthusiastically: "This is not ordinary wine!"
It is impossible to reduce the price!
It seems that there is only one wave.
"Hehe......" After the young man heard Pu Ye say that the price was not wrong, he thought to himself, no wonder there was no one, this is treating people as idiots.
A cocktail to 1998!
Wine is wine, what can it do other than taste different?
Can it be like that Internet celebrity shop, egg fried rice can also shine?
Glancing at Pu Ye with the eyes of an idiot, he turned around and left.
This boss is a madman, slipped, slipped away......
The leaves were messy in the wind.
Hey, what's that look in your eyes?
Am I the spiritual wine that cleanses the heart and purifies the heart?
You can't find it!
But this can't be said, and Pu Ye can only hold it and exhale depressedly for a long time.
As a small food street in the alley, there are still a lot of people who come out for supper at night.
Liaozhai Bar is such a conspicuous signboard that can still attract the attention of many people.
After a while, three people came in one breath.
Their faces were flushed, drunk, and they hooked their shoulders and backs, and they looked like night owls who had already drunk the first, the second, and even the third.
"When did a new bar open here?"
"The new store is open, and it is estimated that there are new liquor in it, and there may be a discount!"
"It must be so!"
……
A newly opened bar always has a good deal when it first opens, and there are new drinks that are very attractive to drinkers.
The three of them pushed the door open and walked in.
When I came in, the environment was not bad, there were few chairs, fewer people, and only one person stood behind the bar, looking like a store manager and a bartender.
Private bar?
They continued to observe, the décor was simple and elegant, the tables were also in the original wood color, the simple decorations were hung, the light was dark, and the overall atmosphere was serene and mysterious.
This bar is quite literary!
The three nodded.
Seeing this, Pu Ye also had confidence in his heart, "Would you like a drink?" ”
"Uh, you only have one kind of wine? Mirror wine! That's a weird name! One of the three fat men leaned and leaned down on the bar and squinted over.
"Yes, as for the price list, it's on the wall." There was a burst of wine on his face, Pu Ye frowned, and said calmly.
The fat man looked up, and first noticed that the two words of the price list were actually brush words, the pen was vigorous, and the writing was very good, and then he noticed the price of a glass of wine, and he was surprised at this look.
“1998? Are you a robbery? Ouch...... "The fat man fell to the ground in shock, clutched his waist and screamed.
"It's a black shop!" "It's just a cocktail, do you think it's a liquid of elixir?" The other two roared as well.
"What? Can't afford to drink? The smell of alcohol is smoky, Pu Ye said lightly, deliberately showing that he can't afford to drink.
"Who said I ...... Can't afford to drink. The three of them roared impotently at first, and the next moment their momentum weakened, and they hurriedly picked up the fat man who fell to the ground and ran away, as if Pu Ye had opened some kind of black shop that killed people.
What about the drunkard who said that he was so foolish?
Swindler!
……
Still can't do it!
Pu Ye sighed, so tired.
A bar only sells one kind of wine, a glass costs 1998, and there are no other characteristics, how can such a wine be sold, it is a headache to think about.
Before you know it, the hour hand is pointing to 10 p.m.
At this point, no one has come, so it shouldn't work.
If no one comes in the first half of the night, it will be even more impossible in the second half of the night.
What a miserable day!
Pu Ye sadly found that his bar seemed to have just opened, and before it became popular, it ......
It's cold!
It looks like there's no one today, so let's close!
Glancing at Ying Ning, who was still addicted to games, and Xiao Qian, who was watching the autobiographical movie, Pu Ye wisely chose to clean up by herself, and she really didn't dare to disturb.
Rustle rustle......
There was a slight sound of writing.
Pu Ye was busy when he noticed a line of small characters in the air.
"The taste of tea is only for those who are destined, and the aroma of wine is not afraid of deep alleys!"
"Thank you! Xiao Qian ......" A burst of warmth rose in Pu Ye's heart, and the movements in his hands also accelerated.
At this moment, a Nono voice suddenly sounded from behind.
"That...... Manager, are you ready to close? ”
Pu Ye turned around and took a look, and found a thin young lady at the end of the alley, with jeans and a gray jacket on her back, carrying a heavy guitar, looking a bit like a street singer.
Are there any more guests?
Although this person doesn't look like he can afford to spend money to buy alcohol and drink, how can there be any reason to drive people away when he opens a business?
"Of course not!" Pu Ye hurriedly said, got out of the way, and welcomed him in.
It's so expensive!
As soon as the guitar lady entered the door, she saw the price list in front of her, and her hand instinctively clenched her pocket.
A glass of wine in 1998?
It's too expensive!
With so much money, she may not be able to earn it in half a month.
It's just that the seductive aroma of wine I smelled before really came from here!
She glanced at the layout of the bar, it was obviously just such an ordinary small shop, nothing special, where did the aroma of wine come from?
It's really weird!
Looking at the girl who knew the price but fell into hesitation, Pu Ye was secretly surprised.
Could it be that today finally ushered in the first customer?
Does this guitar lady have money or a story?
How do you look at it, it's the second type?
Seeing her hesitant appearance, Pu Ye gently reminded: "It's okay! If you can tell a story that touches me, you can offset the cost of drinking! ”
"Really?" For a moment, the guitar lady was pleasantly surprised, her eyes were round and bright.
Suddenly, Pu Ye's eyes shrank, and he didn't know if it was an illusion, he clearly saw a multicolored color emerging from the depths of the other party's pupils, as if with beautiful contacts, strange and inhuman.
He chuckled in his heart, full of bad feelings.
This first guest doesn't seem to be human!
